My Habitat of Unkempt Mincemeat
Coconuts are hard to peel
Evening rains fall hard and fast
Kittens when you kick them squeal
You grow hungry when you fast
Morning mist is slow to clear
Redwoods rest from dusk to dawn
Wood-sprites whisper in one's ear
"It's your turn, now--I took Queen's pawn"
Seaweed waves slime-coated blades
Eels swim forward, fish swim back
and tell you they despise all airy glades
and pine for all the things they say they lack
"Decidedly deciduous!" he opined, incredulous,
So wrong my jaw hung pendulous.
